And Simon and those who were with Him searched (to hunt Him down) for Him. When ...read more

Jesus Appoints The Twelve Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

An Apostolic Attitude Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Success never went to Paul’s head. He could have stood on his dignity as an Apostle, and from a pedestal of superiority thrown his weight around, but he never did. Here again we see Paul’s absolute sincerity, for he knew he only had the position he did by the grace of God.

We have all heard it said that is doesn’t make any difference what you believe as long as you are sincere. This is true only if what you are talking about doesn’t make any difference. If you sincerely believe that white potatoes are better for you than red potatoes it will not make any great ...read more

In many situations in the Bible where Jesus encountered a person who was sick or had other infirmities, He asked if they wanted to be made well. Other cases the people requested a healing.
